Bottleneck Treasures

Looks great!

Well done! Wow!

This commission is unique as the ship will display scars of being battle worn. Her Main mast will be severed,
her sails will display holes and appear tattered, a small fire will be raging on her deck and debris will be floating
in the ocean. She will sail inside a hand blown bottle.

When taking photos I find I achieve better results outdoors on a cloudy day.

NATIONAL Ships In Bottles Day, October 4th annually, " a day commemorating the venerable art of building small ships and other objects to fit and be displayed in a bottle. Builders who are often referred to as bottle shipwrights, are dedicated men and women who spend long hours researching the subject they wish to bottle and then equally long hours devising ways to place their creation securely and attractively inside a bottle."
This day is listed in Chase's Calendar of Events. A prized book used by all the media to search for newsworthy upcoming events they can report on.
The Ships In Bottles Association of America is also listed in The Encyclopedia of Associations. Another reference book to help people find sources. That is how Terry butler was found to get her job with Robert Di Niro and training Matt Damon how to work with SIB's for the 2005 movie The Good Shepard.

I stand corrected Alan thank you for that clarification.

In the past when I have made mast hoops I usually soak the wood in water for 3 to 4 days and then form by wrapping the wood around a jig which is the same diamater of the mast. Using masking tape to secure the wood around the jig till dry (about a day). After drying time has elapsed carefully remove the tape to expose the hoop and remove from jig.
